Rinku Singh, part of India's Asia Cup 2025 squad, expressed gratitude for the support he received from Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) during his injury recovery in 2021.
He recalled fearing for his career after a knee injury but was grateful for KKR's continued faith in him, eventually buying him back in the IPL auction for ₹55 lakh.
Despite being a strong performer for KKR in the IPL and for India in T20Is, Rinku is yet to get a game in the ongoing Asia Cup.
““KKR backed me at my worst. There was a time I was fearing the worst after my knee injury in 2021.”
